10 more CaBi stations headed mostly to downtown DC this month

At last week's Bicycle Advisory Council meeting, DDOT announced that they had procured a small batch of 10 new CaBi stations which they would begin to install over the next 30 days. Most of them will be heading downtown.

DDOT also informed the BAC that they were confident that they were not going to be left with an obsolete system due to the bankruptcy of CaBi's supplier, Bixi and that DDOT has authorization to procure another 30-40 stations once manufacturing resumes.

The City of Montreal has taken over their bikeshare system. The new Bixi International is no longer connected to the Montreal system.

Alta is moving away from Bixi. I would expect them to start adding the new Alta/8D bike stations at some point. They can be designed to be compatible with the current Bixi bikes as well as the new bikes that Alta/8D are using in Seattle (and likely at other systems).
